Scottish Government consultation process

Consultation is an essential part of the policymaking process. It gives us the chance to think about your opinion and expertise in an area where we think changes should be made.

You can find all our consultations online: http://consult.gov.scot. Each consultation gives details on the issues we are thinking about, as well as a way for you to give us your views, either online, by email or by post.

Responses will be looked at and used as part of the decision making process, along with a range of other available information and evidence. We will publish a report of this analysis for every consultation.
